Batt Wash

Also known as Kiln Wash or Shelf Primer.

Prevent glaze ruining your kiln shelves in the event of a glazing accident. Just apply batt wash to your shelves before firing.

Instructions:

Mix with water to a brushable paste and apply to your kiln shelf with a Haik Brush, let dry then add a second coat with the brush strokes at right angles to the first coat. Make sure the shelf is completely dry before firing a glazed piece on it – some people like to bake the wash on during a biscuit firing before using for a glaze firing.

This batt wash will last for several firings or until there is a glaze accident, and areas can be touched up without re-washing the entire shelf if needed.

Safety Information: Wear an FFP3 dust mask when dealing with powders.
